DocuSign,
the global standard for eSignature, today announced the Fall ’12 Release
of its eSignature transaction management platform. This release includes
new capabilities for enterprise use, deeper solutions for business
industries and professionals, and enhancements to DocuSign Ink – the
company’s top-rated mobile app for tablets and smartphones. DocuSign
helps customers securely collect information, automate workflows, and
sign anything, anywhere, anytime – to transact business faster, reduce
costs and delight customers.

“DocuSign has become a ‘must have’ business imperative for organizations
of every size,” said Keith Krach, chairman and CEO at DocuSign. “As the
eSignature industry has matured, customers and prospects are driving
enterprise-wide deployments, more tailored solutions for their
industries and roles, and want to DocuSign from any mobile device. Our
latest DocuSign release addresses these trends to provide our customers
immediate ROI and long-term value.”

A More Powerful Enterprise eSignature Platform: More
organizations are deploying DocuSign enterprise-wide. The DocuSign Fall
’12 Release makes it easier for organizations to do so with new
capabilities that include:

Shared Template Folders: Companies can easily organize any
number of document templates enterprise-wide with shared folders that
give users access to documents based on user permissions.

Simplified User Management: Streamlined bulk management of
users and permissions makes it even faster to get users up and running
on DocuSign. New support for Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML)
2.0 offers the latest in web-based authentication and authorization
including Single Sign On (SSO).

Further Enhancements: Additional new DocuSign features include
senders setting the signing language for customers, streamlined
DocuSign PowerForms to reduce the number of steps for signing, new
eSignature format controls so senders can specify how signatures
appear in DocuSigned documents, and deeper document visibility
controls to give senders more options to specify which documents
signers can see in an envelope.

David McCoy, state controller of North Carolina, noted that “Citizens
will find it easier to do business with the State because they will be
able to sign forms and documents anytime, anywhere and from any
web-accessible device.” Mr. McCoy further explained that “State
agencies, universities, community colleges and local governments also
will benefit from this 21st century tool that will help them move to
digital processes and away from the labor-intensive and time-consuming
processes that require a wet ink signature to each document and form.”

Deeper Industry Solutions for Financial Services and Life Sciences:
Highly regulated industries face unique challenges in moving to
end-to-end electronic processes and require certain capabilities to
fully transition. DocuSign’s close relationships with customers,
partners and government authorities in these industries have positioned
the company to drive deeper vertical market solutions that meet
industry-specific requirements.

Life Sciences: DocuSign helps organizations comply with Food
and Drug Administration (FDA) regulations – including Title 21CFR
Part11. DocuSign’s new signing and signer management capabilities
accelerate clinical trials, research, and other functions to bring new
medicines and treatments to market faster.

“DocuSign’s eSignature solution is an important component of our larger
effort to enhance the experience of advisors and their clients by
optimizing technology to streamline processes and reduce paperwork,”
said Neesha Hathi, senior vice president of advisor technology solutions
for Charles Schwab Advisor Services.

New Mobile Capabilities: DocuSigning on mobile devices is
accelerating for all types of consumers and professionals. DocuSign’s
mobile app, DocuSign Ink, launched in late 2011 and has already been
downloaded more than 650,000 times.

Enhancements here include a more intuitive user interface,
integrations with popular cloud storage solutions Box, DropBox and
Google, and in-person signing on any mobile device. The latest release
of DocuSign supports forty-three languages to make global business on
the go even easier, faster, and more secure for customers than ever.

“eSignature market momentum continues to build as enterprises and
governments seek ways to improve customer service and process efficiency
and effectiveness,” said Gregg Kreizman, Research VP at Gartner. “This
is especially true in an increasingly connected and mobile world.”

“Customers tell us they choose DocuSign because of our robust
transaction platform, commitment to security, partner ecosystem, and
world class customer programs,” said Krach. “Investment in these areas
has helped DocuSign become the global standard for eSignature that
attracts more than 50,000 new users daily to the DocuSign Global
Network.”

DocuSign’s latest release follows the company’s recent Series D funding
of $60 million led by Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers and joined by
Accel Partners, Google Ventures, SAP Ventures, Comcast Ventures and
others. New and expanding partnerships with Apple, eOriginal, Evernote,
foxit, Microsoft Windows 8, salesforce.com, SugarCRM and others are
helping fuel the company’s growth. The company is expanding
internationally and recently expanded its ISO/IEC 27001:2005
certification as an information security management system to include
DocuSign’s international offices.
